1. Our Approach to Forms/Underwriter Profiles in RamQuest

For the time being, it will be acceptable to use the standard 2021 ALTA forms collection and any 2006 endorsements not replaced in the 2021 forms collection.

If you do not already have these forms, directions on how to download and use them are here.

To set up a new Underwriter Profile in RamQuest, follow directions here – starting at Part 2. 

In early September, ATG will provide access to rebranded forms on our website for you to download and use in RamQuest.  

2. How to Address RamQuest Files “In-Flight” on 9/1/23 

Files opened and closed 9/1/23 or after:

• Use standard ALTA forms (ALTA 2021 forms and any ALTA 2006 endorsements not replaced in the ALTA 2021 forms collection).

Files opened before 9/1/23 but not yet closed:

• Use ATG forms as you are doing now and issue Change of Name Endorsement – Commitment (Advocus Form #2193-COM) with commitments and Change of Name Endorsement – Policy (Advocus Form #2193-POL) with policies. 

Files opened and closed prior to 9/1/23:

• Use ATG forms as you are doing now. 
• Do NOT need to issue a name change endorsement.

If you encounter name-related questions from lenders and customers, we welcome you to use our Change of Name Notice Letters (Advocus Form #4286-A, Form #4286-B, and Form #4286-C) and a Change of Name Addendum to Closing Disclosure/Settlement Statement (Form #4287).

Note: On a case-by-case basis, if lenders and/or customers require re-issuance of ATG commitments on Advocus paper, you may do so, but please run a later date search to bring forward the effective date as close as possible to 9/1/23 before re-issuing on Advocus paper.

3. Changes in Closing Market

Starting on 9/1/23, only Advocus policy jackets and CPLs will be available in Closing Market. If you require an ATG policy jacket – please reach out to forms@atgf.com (use @advocustitle.com after 9/1/23).

Questions? If you have forms-related questions about our name change, please feel free to contact the Legal Department at legal@atgf.com (use @advocustitle.com after 9/1/23) or 800.252.0402.
